Eurosport and Eurosportnews, the channel’s 24-hour sports news channel, are distributed in 16 countries across Asia-Pacific.
Eurosport is currently distributed in the Australian market on other cable, IPTV and satellite platforms, but the carriage on Foxtel and Austar will increase the channel’s visibility in Australia.
“We are absolutely thrilled with these two new deals” said Eurosport Asia Pacific’s Managing Director, Arjan Hoekstra. “They will bring Eurosport to a new, highly sought after audience and solidify its ambition to offer the most comprehensive range of quality sports programming to the largest possible audience across Asia Pacific”.
Eurosport will be part of the sports package on both platforms on Channel 511. Currently, both platforms carry only Eurosportnews.
